Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to furniture such as storage furniture, sink cabinets, tables, etc. installed in kitchens, dining rooms, food storage rooms, and the like.

Conventional configurations and their problems In general, this type of furniture is used to prevent pests such as cockroaches from entering, and insect traps are used, or (-j: Insect-proofing pads are used at the abutting areas of openings and doors. The above insect traps are placed in the path of pests, so although they are somewhat effective, they cannot prevent all pests from entering the furniture. On the other hand, cockroaches and the like can penetrate even if there is a gap as small as 1 mm, so it cannot be said to be a complete pest control measure.

By the way, as an insect repellent device, one shown in FIG. 1 is known. This insect repellent device has an insulating base material 1 and a space 2 on the top surface of the insulating base material 1.
A pair of electrode strips 3, 4 and 2 are arranged in parallel with the same voltage.A voltage of about 10 to 30 volts is applied to the electrode strips 3.4. .

It is believed that insects such as cockroaches receive severe electric shocks when a voltage of about 10 volts is applied between their legs. Now, when the insect 6 tries to climb the wall and its legs cross the entire interval 2 and touch the surface of the electrode strip 3, a voltage is applied to the insect 6, and the insect 5 receives a severe electric shock. It bounces and falls downwards. Therefore, the insects 5 cannot advance beyond the insect control device. Thus - such a device makes it possible to prevent the infiltration of pests.

The present inventors have considered combining an electric shock type insect repellent device with furniture. By the way, a pair of electrode strips 3,
4'f3: For example, when placed around the open lower part of the furniture 6 as shown in Fig. 2, the electrode band 3.4 may be short-circuited due to water droplets adhering to it during water work, or electrolytic corrosion may occur, resulting in an electric shock. Voltage drop in type insect repellent devices - There was a problem that the insect repellent function deteriorated, such as unnecessary consumption of the power source battery.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention takes into consideration the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a furniture that is a complete combination of an insect repellent device that prevents electric corrosion between a pair of electrode bands and always effectively provides an insect repellent function. It is something to do.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention includes at least a pair of electric shock electrode bands arranged substantially parallel to each other at a small distance from each other at the edge of a component of a furniture main body.

The structure of the insect repellent device includes an eaves portion that covers the electrode strips, and a power supply device that applies a low voltage to the pair of electrode bodies. It is resistant to short circuits and electrolytic corrosion, and has a reliable insect repellent function.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

In the figure, 8 is the storage furniture main body of the water weir, and has an opening 9. A pair of electric shock electrode strips 10 are placed on the edge of the opening 9 so as to surround the opening 9 and leave a small gap between them. '11 is installed. A voltage of about 10 volts is applied to the pair of electrode bands 10g11 by a power supply device 12 such as a dry battery. In the upper part where the pair of electrode bands 10°11 are provided, the electrode band 10
．． 11 is formed.

In the above configuration, when an insect 14 such as a cockroach tries to crawl into the storage furniture main body 8, the pair of electrode bands 10.11
If you touch it, you will receive an electric shock and the bug 14 will fly outward. Therefore, insects 14 will not enter into the storage furniture main body 8.

In particular, in the configuration of the embodiment described above, water droplets scattered during water treatment are blocked by the eaves section 13, and the pair of electrode strips 10.
11, and the electrode strips 10 and 11 are not short-circuited, they also prevent electrolytic corrosion and always exhibit an insect repellent function.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention, which is a draining furniture having an opening 9 in its lower part, and a pair of electrode strips 10.11 arranged on the lower surface around the opening 9. The eaves part 13 is constructed so that the lip member 16 to which the electrode strips 10 and 11 are attached also serves, and the same effects as in the previous embodiment can be obtained. In the figure, 16 indicates a draining shelf and 17 indicates a pot.

In the above embodiment, a storage furniture having an opening has been described, but the pair of electrode strips may be arranged at the edge of a table, and the present invention is not limited to storage furniture.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments described above, the present invention provides an eave portion that covers the pair of electric shock electrode bands at the edge of the furniture component, thereby preventing short circuits between the pair of electrode bands. It does not cause any electrical corrosion and can always reliably perform its insect repellent function, so its value is great.
